Dolores disappeared for months, and when she returned, she was very round and pregnant, close to giving birth to a baby girl she later named 'Cynthia'.
It took a while before Evan warmed up to Dolores again.
After all, she betrayed him and chose to run off with some man for the sake of pursuing a dream that was barely within her reach. But when she realized that her dream was the same as merely grasping smoke, she came scurrying back home like an injured animal.
When he finally opened his heart to her again, they became closer than they were before. After all, it was challenges that made bonds stronger.
But it seemed that Dad didn't feel the same way and wasn't open to mending his relationship with Dolores.
